To add a new column with the days prescribed. To add multiple columns use addDrugUtilisation() for efficiency.

To add a new column with the days prescribed. To add multiple columns use addDrugUtilisation() for efficiency.

Usage

addDaysPrescribed(
  cohort,
  conceptSet,
  indexDate = "cohort_start_date",
  censorDate = "cohort_end_date",
  restrictIncident = TRUE,
  nameStyle = "days_prescribed_{concept_name}",
  name = NULL
)

Arguments

cohort: A cohort_table object.
conceptSet: List of concepts to be included.
indexDate: Name of a column that indicates the date to start the analysis.
censorDate: Name of a column that indicates the date to stop the analysis, if NULL end of individuals observation is used.
restrictIncident: Whether to include only incident prescriptions in the analysis. If FALSE all prescriptions that overlap with the study period will be included.
nameStyle: Character string to specify the nameStyle of the new columns.
name: Name of the new computed cohort table, if NULL a temporary table will be created.

Value

The same cohort with the added columns.
